Money and Question

Chapter 15
Summary:Despite the storm, the two sacristan brothers Basilio and Crispin had to go up the bell tower of the cathedral to ring the bells at eight in the evening. Both boys talk about the parish priest's lost silver. Crispin, the younger one, was blamed for having allegedly stolen the money. The boy was tortured by the priest and the sacristan mayor. Basilio luckily escaped.

Points of Note:
It is obvious in the way the two boys conversed in this chapter that they were thinking quite maturely for their age.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Question: Did the priest really lose his money?Answer: Yes, he did. But whether it was Crispin who took the money is not clear. This can be deduced from the discussion between the two boys. It also could not have been Basilio; if it were him he would have confessed it to his brother.

Question: If it wasn't the brothers, then who took the friar's money? Answer: It could have been the sacristan mayor, who has been described as a man who had a heart of stone with no conscience whatsoever.

Question: There was a loud scream followed by two gunshots. What was it? Answer: It was the civil guards screaming for Basilio to halt. When the boy kept on running, they fired two shots at him.

Question: Why wasn't anybody alarmed at the sound of gunfire? Answer: It was common during those days.

Chapter 33
Summary:Ibarra heads home to change. Elias arrives. "You saved my life before, and now I have returned the favor. There is no need for you to thank me, Sir," the man says to Ibarra. He goes on to remind him not to hint to those people in power the warning that Elias gave him earlier in the church. Elias explains that it would be better for Ibarra if his enemies thought he wasn't ready. Ibarra is stunned; he had no idea he had enemies. "We all have enemies," says Elias. "Disagreement is a part of life." Elias then confesses to have jumped the yellowish man into the excavation the moment the...

QUESTIONs
.1 On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 equaling love it, and 10 equaling hate it, rate your feelings about speaking in front of groups. Explain your reasons for this rating.
If I had to rate my feelings for speaking in front of an audience, I would have to say that I would give it a five on a scale from one to 10. The reason I say this is because I don’t love speaking in front of an audience, but I also don’t hate it either. I would say that I am very comfortable speaking in front of people and I feel that I do extremely well. I feel that I speak very well and I am very sure of myself when speaking in front of others. Also, just because I do have the ability to do so does not mean that I just love to be in front of an audience speaking. I don’t get nervous or feel uncomfortable when I have to speak in front of the class or an audience. So, I would have to say that I am pretty neutral on the topic, I don’t hate it and I don’t love it.

...overheated.
Other economists, such as Milton Friedman, view the economy as naturally stable. They blame bad economic policies for the large and inefficient fluctua- tions we have sometimes experienced. They argue that economic policy should not try to fine-tune the economy. Instead, economic policymakers should admit their limited abilities and be satisfied if they do no harm.
This debate has persisted for decades, with numerous protagonists advancing various arguments for their positions. It became especially relevant as economies around the world sank into recession in 2008. The fundamental issue is how policymakers should use the theory of short-run economic fluctuations devel- oped in the preceding chapters.
In this chapter we ask two questions that arise in this debate. First, should monetary and fiscal policy take an active role in trying to stabilize the economy, or should policy remain passive? Second, should policymakers be free to use their discretion in responding to changing economic conditions, or should they be committed to following a fixed policy rule?
Should Policy Be Active or Passive?
To many economists the case for active government policy is clear and sim- ple. Recessions are periods of high unemployment, low incomes, and increased economic hardship. The model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply shows how shocks to the economy can cause recessions. It also shows how monetary and fiscal policy can prevent (or at least soften)...

...3. MONEYMoney is everything that serves as universally excepted medium of exchange or means of payment.
Functions of money:
Medium of exchange – enables people to exchange goods and services for other commodities
Store of value – at home money loses value because of inflation so it is better to deposit financial assets with a bank.

We can also invest in properties, lands, arts, jewelry, antiques or precious metals and stones.

Evolution of money

...saints a good feedback and made them feel important by giving them good students awards. Teachers and police used to say that the roughnecks were destined to fail because all they knew was to cause trouble and be disrespectful to others, so their future had nothing interesting and they had nothing to offer to society but trouble. I think that the roughnecks believed what others thought about them, they probably thought that the only way they could live their lives was just by being miserable and believing what others said.
7) The teachers and police regarded the boys as they did because of the way they behaved. They saw that the saints were upper class kids and instantly assumed they were good kids, the saints had the advantages of having money and cars which made them have an easier life because they could hide all the incidents they committed on the weekends.
They regarded the roughnecks in a frightful and rude way because these boys were very disrespectful and didn’t care about anyone.

...man. Makes money illegally. "I don't think she ever loved him." Gatsby turned around from a window and looked at me challengingly. "You must remember, old sport, she was very excited this afternoon. He told her those things in a way that frightened her – that made it look as if I was some kind of cheap sharper. And the result was she hardly knew what she was saying."- Gatsby actually rewrites the past to make it look like his version of events. This is—we hate to say it—basically the equivalent of saying that "no" means "yes." In fact, for Daisy, no really does mean no this time.
Clearly then, Fitzgerald the American Dream is a failure through his characters in the novel, most common infidelities shows that tom Buchanan should not be rich, the Wilson who works the hardest and deserves to be wealthy is never rewarded, and Gatsby wealth is not obtained through hard work but illegally and clearly he is immoral too.
Main characters
Tom – jerk, doesn’t care, trashes everything, peoples lives, cold heartless,
Daisy- emptiness, amazing apparently, not kid/caring/thoughtful;, just pretty and thinks she is fabulous, empty lives, meaningless lives, no purpose, not a golden girl, doesn’t care about anything,

Does Money bring Happiness?
“My well being depends on me getting all that I desire.” “Life is limited. There isn’t enough for everyone.” "They don’t cut you no slack. You give and you give and they take.” “The urge to splurge is driving folks to spend, spend, and spend like never before. But is it true?” We have been told that the wealth of money brings us to success and happiness, but does it? Does our life depend on it? Or we are driven by greed? One thing that we should know is that money will not necessarily lead to happiness, success and a good reputation after all. Money is not the only measure of success in life. For most people in our modern world, money is the first thing, and sometimes the only thing that measures success in their life. Money can buy power. Money can buy fame. Money can buy time. Sometimes money can even buy a life. So money has become the first common goal for everybody. However, there is something else that can be the measurement of success in life.
The common goal in people’s life is to be peaceful and happy. Being the richest man in the world does not mean you are the happiest man in the world, although money can buy you happiness sometimes, but not always. So another measurement of success you are in is how happy your life...
